My opinion... the boy in the room who said that Bush's face sort of turned red was not observing Bush when
Card whispered in his ear, but later at the time another individual approached Bush and indicated it was time to leave, exit,
finish... Bush's face more likely turned red then...

ZAHN: Still ahead on this very special night President Bush sends a message to the class he was visiting on 9/11 in Florida,
and don't forget we're planning live coverage of the president's Oval Office address to the nation coming up at the top of
the hour. We'll be right back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

ZAHN: The Pentagon tonight, as our special report on the fifth
anniversary of 9/11 continues. Those beams of light reflecting the loss of the 184 victims there five years ago.

Now,
the president first got word that the nation was under attack during a visit to a Florida grade school. Our John Zarrella
went back to that same school and found the children's memories of that moment stronger than ever.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JOHN
ZARRELLA, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): For seventh grader Tyler Radkey and high school sophomore Steve Rigell, football
practice on a steamy summer afternoon is a long, long way removed from that moment in time in history they were a part of
five years ago.

TYLER RADKEY, THEN 2ND GRADER: I remember shaking his hand and reading to him and being really close
to him.

STEVE RIGELL, THEN 5TH GRADER: There was a bunch of vans with satellites attached to them, different news
stations were everywhere.

ZARRELLA: President Bush had come to Emma Booker elementary school in Sarasota, Florida
to talk about education and to hear the children read. It was the morning of September 11th.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES: Nice to meet everybody.

ZARRELLA: As he walked into teacher Kay Daniels' second grade classroom
at 9:00 a.m., the president was already aware a plane had struck the World Trade Center.

BUSH: I want to thank you
all.

ZARRELLA: For the first few minutes, everything seemed fine. The children read. The president smiled. At 9:05,
Chief of Staff Andrew Card whispered in the president's ear, "a second plane had hit the towers."

KAY DANIELS, TEACHER:
Emotionally, he left. He was supposed to pick up his book because we was getting ready to read the story, and it took him
a while to pick up the book, because he was gone.

But he came back. And I always say he came back for the children
and he came back for our nation.

ZARRELLA: Tyler Radkey and Natalia Pinkney (ph) were in the classroom.

RADKEY:
When his staff member walked up to him and was talking to him, his face just turned red.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I kind
of knew something bad was happening, but I didn't really understand it...

The reason given why Bush didn't leave as soon as Card told him the news is: "Without all the facts at hand, George Bush
had no intention of upsetting the schoolchildren who had come to read for him." [MSNBC, 10/29/02] Advisor Karl Rove said, "The President thought for a second or two about getting up and walking out of the room. But the
drill was coming to a close and he didn't want to alarm the children." [ABC, 9/11/02] This excuse is patently absurd, given the security risks and importance of Bush being informed and making decisions as Commander
in Chief. Nor was the drill coming to a close: one drill had ended and another was about to begin - it was a perfect time
to simply say, "Excuse me" and leave the room...

They lose credibility when they talk about Israel, exclusively. It's not a Zionist agenda.

9/11 is the reason for waging war... the war on terror... at 11 o'clock they decided to wage war on Afghanistan...was
probably made years before... Carter and Bryzinski created al Quaeda, ... during the Cold War, and in the post Cold-War climate,
it turned on its creators... the missing link, the blowback... we helped them initially but they went against us, according
to Chodosskey... it's not that there was foreknowledge, it has to do with the fact that the al Quaeda is a creature of the
CIA, and it continues to be a creature of the CIA...

About this video

In this lecture by Michel Chossudovsky, he blows away the smokescreen put up by the mainstream media, that 9/11 was an
attack on America by "Islamic terrorists". Through meticulous research, he has uncovered a military-intelligence ploy behind
the September 11 attacks, and the cover-up and complicity of key members of the Bush Administration.

According to
Chossudovsky, the "war on terrorism" is a complete fabrication based on the illusion that one man, Osama bin Laden, outwitted
the $40 billion-a-year American intelligence apparatus. The "war on terrorism" is a war of conquest. Globalisation is the
final march to the "New World Order", dominated by Wall Street and the U.S. military-industrial complex.

September
11, 2001 provides a justification for waging a war without borders. Washington's agenda consists in extending the frontiers
of the American Empire to facilitate complete U.S. corporate control, while installing within America the institutions of
the Homeland Security State...
